Baka Beyond at The Acorn, Penzance
Baka Beyond have spent decades weaving together West African rhythms, Celtic influences, and voices that seem to reach somewhere elemental. Their show at The Acorn carries the evocative subtitle "Sing the World Awake" — a fair description of what they tend to do to a room. The Acorn is one of Cornwall's most intimate live music venues, making this the kind of gig where the music genuinely gets under your skin. A good Friday night out for anyone who loves music that crosses borders and doesn't sit still.
